In what had to be one of the most covered non-game events in NFL history, the 2024 NFL Draft might very well be remembered as ‘The Belichick Draft.’ Bill Belichick, who has taken part in NFL Drafts for decades as a coach, took part in The Pat McAfee Draft Spectacular for night one of the draft as an analyst and by all accounts was a major hit.
As the show, which was carried on ESPN+, started to wrap up, McAfee said to Belichick, “Tonight was awesome…You crushed it.”
Belichick replied saying, “Is there any chance I could be on your show during the fall?” McAfee replied, “You mean like Mondays?”
And with that it appears much like Aaron Rodgers and Nick Saban in the past, Bill Belichick will be a weekly guest during the football season on The Pat McAfee Show.
Many wondered if Belichick would be a fit with McAfee and his cohorts and for those that tuned into the Draft Spectacular, it seems that was answered with a resounding yes. While McAfee’s team stayed in character throughout the broadcast, Belichick fit in well in both analyzing the players and teams while at the same time being comfortable enough to be relaxed and have fun with the style of broadcast McAfee presents.
Earlier this week Andrew Marchand of The Athletic said all signs are pointing to Belichick also being a recurring guest on Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli, also known as the ManningCast.
